The two structures 5 and 6 are joined together by a rigid member 21 in the form of a metal conduit, the same preferably passing into the structure 5, terminating within the Electric wires may be passed through this conduit for a purpose to be hereinafter explained. The conduit 21 extends for an appre'ciable distance into the structure 6, and it has a socket 22 which may be connected with the electric wires passing into i In the socket is an electric lamp 23. Associated With the lamp 23 and removably supported Aupon a ledge 24 within the structure 6 is a reflectorbody 25 having a flared base 26 and a flared upper portion 27, the lamp 23 being positioned With respect to the two reflector portions so that a light ray may be cast thereupon.` At the upper end of the structure 6 and removably associated ,therewith is a globe 28 formed of glass or any other suitable Well-known material and of 'a selected color, such as brown, orange, strawberry or like colors o f various icecreams.

The structure 6 may be supported upon the conduit 21 by means of a spider 2%) secured at 30 to the structure and rcsting at 31 upon a collar 32 on the conduit.

In the modified form of the invention shown in Figure 8, the upper structure (3" is provided with a conduit 21,, whose lamp 23 is associated with an upper c nicavo-c mvex rettector 33 and a lower frusto-conical retteelor Bat, the rim of the re'liector 33 termimtting short of the walls of the relector 34, so that a surrounding space is formed about the rollector 33. l'n this manner, light is rellected upward and against the `globe 28 and by virtue of the concavity of the rellector 33 light is retlected downward where it finds escape from the base of the structure ti in order that its eii'ect may bo spent against the exterior of the under structure 7. i

\Ve claim as our invention:

1. A building comprising a conical lower structure having doorways and windows, respectirely, formed therein, the structure consist'ing of angularly-arranged beams which come together at the top of the strm'ture, an exterior .racing material arrangod about the bcams, a lamp extending above the structure from the apex thereof, and means within the lamp for causing reflect'cd light to be projected against the exterior of the structure, the facing material being of the color of baked doughstoclr, so that the building depiets an edible icrecream cone.

2. A building` comprising a conical lower structure having doorways and windows, respectively, formed therein, the structure consisting of angulm'ly-arranged beams which come together at the top of the structure, an exterior facing material arranged about the beams, a lamp extending above the structure from the apex thereof, means for permitting light to be projected from the lamp in a downward direction against the exterior of the structure, and means for projecting li ght in an upward direction from the base of the structure, the facing material being of the color of baked doughstock, so that the building depicts an edible icecrcam cone.

3. A building simulating an edible icecream cone, a lamp rising from the apex of the cene, the said lamp being substantially conical and a tranged with its large end uppermost and provided at its large end with a colored globe capable of permitting of :in emission of light thercfrom, means for causing light to be relected in an upward direction from within the lamp and against the globe to illuminate the latter and for projecting light in a downward direction and against the exterior of the structure, and

titl

ltltl means for projccting a harinonizing light in an upward direction against the exterior of such structure. i

4:. A building including a lower conical structure colored exteriorly to simulate an cdible icecream cone of baked doughstock and having doors and Windows, respect-ively, formed therein near` its base, and a coneshaped lamp above the structure arranged With its apex in substantially conjoined relationship to the apex of the structure.

5. A buildingl comprising a eonical structure, a superposed substantally inverted conical structure arranged With its small end confronting the a'pex of the `first said structure7 means` for projecting light in an upward direction upon the .exterior surface of the first structure, and means Within the second struei'zure for distributing light in a downward direction against the exterior of the first said structure, the two structures arranged With their longitudinal axes in alinement.

6. A building including a structure shaped and colored exteriorly to simulate an edible icecreain cone of baked dough stock, a holloW inverted conical .structure supported from the apex of the first structure, means for depositing light upon the exterior of the first structure so as to visualize the exterior color thereof7 and means for eausing an illumination of a porti on of the second said structure to depict an icecream cene filled With icecream of a particular color.

7. A building including a structure depicting` an icecream cene, and means for casting light upon the Whole of the eXtcrior of the structure from a point at the extreme base thereof and of a color shade harmonizing with the color of the aforestated edible icecream cene.

8. A building including a structure having a uoorway and windows, respectively, the structure consisting of angularly related beams inerging together at the top of the structure, an oxterior plastic facing surrounding the structure of the color of balred dough stock and Producing with the beams a hollou1 form depicting an edible icecrealn cone.

9. A building including1 a structure of eonical fol-matien, the same depicting an edible icecream cene, and means for depositing light upon the exterior of the structure respectively from two directions between the apex and the large end thereof.
